Leonor of Leon

Leonor of Leon (1307-1359) was the Queen of Aragon from 1329 to 1336 with Alfonso IV of Aragon.

Biography
Leonor was born in 1307, the son of Fernando IV of Castile and Constance of Portugal. She was from the Catholic House of d'Ivrea of Castile, and she was supposed to marry King James II of Aragon's son James of Aragon, but he decided to become a monk instead. She instead married James' younger brother, King Alfonso IV of Aragon, and she was married to him for seven years before he died in 1336. She planned to advance the interests of her own sons over her stepson, having a disruptive influence in Aragon. While Pere IV of Aragon was fighting Peter of Castile, she returned to Castile with her sons, but in 1359 she was imprisoned and executed by Peter of Castile, her nephew.
